"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a dragnet that was thrown into the sea and gathered [fish] of every kind,

Again for the second time he went away [and] prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will must be done."

For [in] those days there will be tribulation of such a kind as has not happened from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will happen.

"And if you love those who love you, what kind of credit is [that] to you? For even sinners love those who love them!

And if you do good to those who do good to you, what kind of credit is [that] to you? Even the sinners do the same!

And if you lend [to those] from whom you expect to receive [back], what kind of credit is [that] to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, so that they may get back an equal [amount]!

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend expecting back nothing, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and furthermore, even his own life, {he cannot be} my disciple.

Whoever does not carry his own cross and {follow} me {cannot be} my disciple.

In the [same] way, therefore, every [one] of you who does not renounce all his own possessions {cannot be} my disciple.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it, that its deeds are evil.

You will seek me and will not find [me], and where I am, you cannot come."

What is this saying that he said, 'You will seek me and will not find [me], and where I am, you cannot come'?"

So he said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come!"

Then the Jews began to say, "Perhaps he will kill himself, because he is saying, 'Where I am going you cannot come.'"

If he called them 'gods' to whom the word of God came--and the scripture cannot be broken--

Children, yet a little [time] I am with you. You will seek me and just as I said to the Jews, "Where I am going you cannot come," now I say also to you.

Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus replied, "Where I am going you cannot follow me now, but you will follow later."

(Now he said this to indicate by what kind of death he would glorify God.) And [after he] had said this, he said to him, "Follow me!"

'Heaven [is] my throne and earth [is] the footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build for me, says the Lord, or what [is the] place of my rest?

Therefore I sent for you at once, and you {were kind enough to come}. So now we all are present before God to hear all the things that have been commanded to you by the Lord."

And the slave of the Lord must not quarrel, but be kind toward everyone, skillful in teaching, tolerant,
